What a freaking mess!! Dude why do you have so many partitions? What I would suggest is move your files off and start over!

Create your C sure and then just create 1 other partition for your data and just use folders. All your doing is creating a mess breaking out partitions to try and organize your files. When all you need is folder, this way you don't have to worry about what size you should make your ftp disk, or susies disk or media disk, etc.

As to why windows is showing you wrong size.. Did you resize the disks with your 3rd party software?

I really would just start over here.. You have plenty of space to move your files off all those other partitions, and just redo it. I would prob do the whole machine over since you must of upgraded or something that your system part is after your main C part?

Follow Budman's advice is the only suggestion I'd give, you can accomplish EVERYTHING you want without such a cluster F of partitions and not have to worry about adjusting drive sizes and crap like that

What the hell does homegroups have to do with partitions?? Other than nothing?

You have a complete an utter cluster F if you ask me.. What does having 16GB of ram have to do with wasting like 50GB on a swap part, on the same physical disk -- again I just have to ask WTF?? ;) What would you be doing that you would have to swap out with 16GB of ram? And 50GB worth? Putting it on the same spindle isn't buying you anything anyway - OLD MS article use to suggest this was from back when you had 128MB of ram, and a majority of disks with PATA and ultradma33, etc..

You don't need to drop in a bunch of swap space just to match an old rule of thumb for paging file size. At these large sizes you really should only match as much as you expect to overflow onto the disk otherwise you are wasting the space because things won't ever be paged out anyway.

I let windows decided.

Anyway, for some odd reason, this after opening up from sleep was this mornings values.

Drives me nuts.

I like my system as it is for me.

It works for me.

It's shared between 4 users around the house, they too can access the partitions, I see my P.C. as a hub.
